That seems to be nicer. But for those who are still working with old compilers, that wouldn't do it. Except if you make the old versions available (leaving a place where to download the V5). And those who are working with old compilers should be warned that some features are not available... if support is not available for compilers before a version n, could it be then possible to have for users some kind of a comparative sheet between ICS versions (starting from version 5 ;)? it shouldn't be to difficult as you know what would be removed from the source code. -- Guillaume MAISON - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 83, Cours Victor Hugo 47000 AGEN Tél : 05 53 87 91 48 - Fax : 05 53 68 73 50 e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web : http://nauteus.com -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
